Can you eat chips with braces? What about chocolate or Goldfish crackers? Many foods are safe to eat with braces if you know how to eat them correctly. Learn which foods to enjoy and which to avoid to keep your braces in top shape with tips from Weaver Orthodontics in Swampscott, MA.

Wondering if you can chew gum with braces? For years, the answer was no, but orthodontists now say sugar-free gum may be braces-friendly. Brands like Orbit, Pur, and Trident use Xylitol, which helps prevent bacteria growth. However, chewing gum with Invisalign requires removing your aligners first. If gum sticks to your braces, gently brush it off or use olive oil to loosen it. Choose sugar-free gum and consult Weaver Orthodontics in Swampscott, MA for the best options for your treatment.
